HER HOSPITALITY.
A ait OF EXPERIENCE IN A ROCKY
MOUNTAIN CABIN.

Tall. Grim Faced Woman at tho Back
Door.
"Tbese mountaineers are the most hospita-

bospitality. They would share their last ioaf

We were riding down steep Rocky Noun
tain trail. my friend Clate and |, when CiaUe
made the remarks quoted. He was an enthu-
siast over the noble traits Of the honest miner
and mountaineer. Certain experiences OF my
own had made mo skeptcal on the subject.
At the base OF the mountain stood little
log cabin.
"Now." said Clate, "rll prove my theory.
It's past dinner time and we're both hungry
as wolves. I'll wager anything you like that
we'll get good square meal st that CABIN
free of charge"
Five minutes later we stood before the
closed door of the cabin.
"Hellc4" roared Clate.
There was no reply.
"Hello, | say"
This time Clste raped loudly on the door.
There being no response he lifted the latch,
when the door swung open showing no one
within. although the cabin was evidently be-
ing occupied.
Gan rightr cried Clate, cheeriiy. "Come
on in. Ned. and we'll forage round and see
what we can find in the commissary. Tho
folks won't care. They've left the door epen
on purpose for wayfarers like us to step in
and help themselves It's just like them. It's
your westerner who knows SHAT true hospi-
talitv is.
Clate 'foraged around" for some time, but
all he could find was piece Of dry salt pork
and a few potatoes.
SUDDEN SURPRISE.
"Wen help ourselves to what there is, said
Clate. cheerily. "You build n fire, Nod
We're welcome to what we've found, I'll bet
on that, for

woman with a leathern looking face, sud
denly appeared at a back door. She saw
Clate, and yelled out:
drop them taters!"
"Why, madam, I-T-

A short gun hung on the wall. She snatched
it down, brought it to her shoulder with a
jerk and said
"Drop them taters too quick"
Clate dropped them.
"Drop that pork"
Clate dropped it.
"NOw you fellers git"

rebuked though he was, fingered until the
shotgun was again pointed toward him and
the woman said:

We dit out hungry and crestfallen, and
Clate has been dumb ever since on the subject
of western hospitality. Dane in De

81 desire to call the attention OF your
readers to subject upon which there
appears to be an incorrect public senti-
ment-namely, the use of the telephone
by persons who are not subscribers, and
who pay nothing for such use.
"There are numbers of most respecta-
BILE people who would never think of at
tempting to ride in horse car or railroad
car without paying, or al the regular eX'
pense of neighbor, who would repel as
an insult the suggestion that it was not
necessary to take the newspaper because
they could borrow one, who yet will time
and again say to a friend, Let me use
your telephone, and suit the action to
the word-in many cases repeating the
operation so often that the little prelimi-
nary request comes to be a supertiuous
formality, and is dropped.
Now, these good people undoubtedly
make a distinction in their own minds,
perhaps unconsciously, between the
street car service and the telephone ser
vice, and think it is quite proper to make
unlimited free use of the latter If they
did not think so, | assume as law-abiding
self-respecting citizens they would no
more think of spOnging' telephone talks
than they would of surreptitOuslY appro-
priating free horse-car rides or daily
newspapers.
1t is on this point that the public
mind needs education and enlightenment,
and would beg your readers to give the
subject the candid consideration that it
deserves.
THE telephone plant costs the compa-
ny heavy outlay, just as the plant of
the street-railway or newspaper costs the
respective concerns engaged in these
branches of enterprise and public service.
There is also perpetual outlay for main
tenance of the plant and performance of
the necessary current operations of the
telephone service, just as there is in the
other two lines of business, which are
mentioned as convenient illustrations;
others might be named Manifestly the
money involved in the latter enterprises
is not invested as a gratuitious charity,
but for the use and benefit of the public,
just so far as there is public demand
and payment made for such use and ben
eft, and no one thinks for a moment of
questioning the prOpriety of these condl-
tiOns.
"The Telephone Exchange is just as
much and just as legitimate business
enterprise as either of the others. Is
there any reason why the Telephone
Company should be asked to be more of a
charitable institution than the others
am sure that if our citizens will give
the matter a moments reflection, they
will either pay, or else they will not talk
by telephone at the expense of the com
pany and their neighbors. Such a course
would greatly diminish the unrequited
labor and expense of the Telephone Com
pany, and obviate the necessity of a sub
scriber giving up his telephone because
he is annoyed by demands for its gratu-
itous use, or of giving it up because he
finds that by complying with his contract
and refusing such demands he offends
customers Both of these classes have
examples within our experience.
81 appeal to the good sense and fairness
of the public for Justice"

Communicated
To the Editor of tho Tymes:

Dear Sir,-The following article was
printed by the manager of the Telephone
Exchange in another city, and would
respectfully invite the attention OF your
readers TO the points therein contained
with reference to the Richmond Tele-
phone Exchange. The service is heavily
burdened by such use as is referred to
in the article, to the disadvantage both
of the company and the subscribers who
paw for the service, and this is doubtless
largely because people do not stop to
look at the matter in its true light.
Respectfully,

The ThistIe Trouble.

New YORK, Sept. 24.-The New York
Yacht club held meeting tonight with
closed doors to discuss the measure
ments of the Scotch yacht Thistle,
whose water line is SO much longer than
was stated in the challenge. The fol-
lowing statement was furnished to the
press:
The cup committee had its attention called
to- the fact of report OF discrepancy be-
tween the water-line, as stated by the chal-
lenger in his original communication to the
club, and the actual measurement of the
club on the 22d inst. 1t was contended by
the challenger that in his views of the con-
struction of the deed of gift, the water line
was not a necessary dimension he was
compelled to furnish. The committee
is of the opinion that it was a
dimension under the deed of gift, and in view
of the precedent, which would be established
by accepting this view of the case, both par
ties desired to submit the question to the I'm
pire which was done this evening in writing.
At the same time the cup committee stated
that in the event of the decision of the UNI
pire being that there was an irregularity in
the entry of the Thistle, to preclude her from
competing under her challenge, new chal-
lenge should be Immediately presented based
ON her present measurement and accepted by
them as if the actual water line had been
stated in the challepgers original communi-
cation. The referee now has the matter
under consideration and will render the deci-
sion tomorrow. In either event it wont pre-
vent the race.

A NAVAL RESERVE.
A Feasible Scheme Proposed by
Prominent Yachtsmen.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-About fifty
prominent steamship owners, yacht
men, merchants and ex-maIine revenue
officers yesterday held a meeting in the
United States circuit court here and
discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of establish
ing naval reserve. Eldridge t. Gerry,
commodore of the New York Yacht
club, was made chairman. The object
of the meeting was stated to be con-
sideratiOn of the organization of naval
reserve. which, in time of war, would
be auxiliary to the navy, just as the
militia is all auxiliary to the regular
navy. The reserve navy of England
was cited, with its $4,000 men, and the
like precautions OF Canada was referred
to. The steam yachts of the New York
Yacht club-sOme of which developed
from fourteen to eighteen and one-half
knots per hOur-would make the finest
torpedo boats in the world. G. W. Mil
Ter, manager of the StOnington line, Of
fered a series of resolutions approving
the establishment by congress, at its
next session, of naval reserve, to con-
sist of officers and men from the mer-
camille marine yachtsmen and water
men generally, and of vessels to be
built with reference to use in time of
war as auxiliary to the regular navy,
such reserve to be established on the
great lakes as well as the seaboard. The
secretary of the navy is to be consulted
by committee of ten as to the further
ance of the project.

HERE is A TRADE
About Which the United States
Ought to Have a Word to Say.

BY Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Sept. PA report prevails
this afternoon that the government is
about to go to the "honest broker of
Berlin with proposition to give up
Heligoland. The foreign Office having
discovered that Great Britain has pro-
nounced treaty interest in the integrity
of the Samoan islands, which have re-
Gently been occupied by a German
armed force, and acting on information
received several years ago from the
British minister at Berlin that England
need expect no peace in the Pacific I'M
til the German iSlet of Heligoland was
given up to Germany, Lord Salisbury at
length considered the matter. He has
come to the conclusion that HeligOland
is of very little importance to Great
Britain, and that Prince Bismarck can
have his long expressed desire for its
possession gratified if the German chan
cellor will in return order the with
drawal of the German troops from the
Samoan islands and cease his encroach-
ment on British possessions in the Pa
cific.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
How the Various Articles Traded
in Fiuctuated on Yesterday.
Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The wheat mar
ket opened quiet and a shade easier. and
displayed signs of weakness and fatigue
until nearly noon. Ream and most of
the heavier local operators were free
and open sellers. Their sales carried
prices down from 5sc- to &c, but on the
decline there was good general buying,
Milmine, Badman 81 Co. leading. The
market developed steadinesS that was
somewhat surprising under these cir
cumstances, and shows that wheat
around roc has many believers and
strong friends. During the last hour
the market more than recovered the lost
ground and an advance of &c was estab-
hShed, though the last prices were not
the best. The bulls have the call OH
statistical points. The interior move
ment of wheat is decidedly favorable to
their side, and the tone of foreign mar
kets is getting stronger. On these two
the grain trade of the world
is still hedging in this market against
possessed property, and short selling is
popular as ever. Corn was weak early.
Reports of frost in Minnesota, coupled
with strong buying of September, OctO-
Der ana May by Hutchinson, put the
market up. Receipts are heavy, and
anticipated arrivals for Monday are 500
cars. The supply of merchant corn"
in country elevators is said to be run
ming low despite the present big for
ward movement. In the cash market
shippers are discriminating against
white corn. Provisions averaged better,
and the market was quite active at
times. October ribs only show a slight
change in price, but January ribs moved
up 10 cents and closed at the top; Jan
$3.50. Lard, too, was strong. Light
receipts of hogs give packers more con-
fdence in the future, and their offer
ings of next winters productions are
less free
